I will take this survey with a grain of salt. I do not doubt the outcome, but for most Bangladeshis living in Bangladesh, they do it for a lack of education on this matter. Simply put, no one ever told them that this is bad, and you are not supposed to think like that.

The N-words come to mind. They use it there regularly without ever knowing that its a bad word, or that they are not supposed to use it. They do not know the difference between the N-word and Black. If they are educated on the matter, my guess is, the numbers will change significantly.

Another word that makes me wonder is "upojati". Is it even supposed to be a word? We use it left and right, but I can guarantee, if I was a Chakma or Mog or something, I would not like to be called upojati. We are still the same nation, damn it.

The inter-country racism, that is completely a different matter though.
